Mr. Hichers said that we were con- tinually being told that the standard wage should be the 1914 wage, plus a per- centage equivalent to the increase in the cost of living since that date. And Fet," he proceeded. "we are obviously poorer than we were in 1914, and it is equally obvious that our foreign trade is slipping from our grasp, owing to the competition of Germany and America.
